Is my mother inlaw overreacting?

We've been staying with my mother inlaw for a couple weeks. And she asked to use my laptop and she found the file with her social media photos in it, and she got really mad, calling me a disgusting perv and told me to delete her photos. I'm I wrong for having her photos or is she wrong for going through my laptop?

 

Why is she calling you a perv? What sort of photos are they - sex photos?

 

Oh dear that's no good i don't share my Facebook with family, not that i have anything to hide

 

There regular photos it's just I've edited them to only focus on her and when you open the folder it says wank bank so she knows what I was using them for.

 

Some women would be flattered.

Maybe when she's thought about it a little more.

 

She hasn't told her. She doesn't know

 

Man you stepped in a big pile of doo there. My thought is, if there's something I for sure never ever want someone to see, it gets locked, buried a few layers deep and has a non descriptive file name like "system master files" or "khilxe996980" or such.

Either way it's going to be an issue. You better get ahead of it and tell wifey while you can still spin it. Then plan to move out....

If I had an in law file, I would have called it my "celibacy" file. The very concept is frightening.

 

Play it down like it's no big deal.

If your wife gives you attitude, tell her that it's pretty sad to begin with when a married man gets so little that he has to fap to keep his pipes clean.

 

"Well, ya know, I wouldn't HAVE to jerk off, honey, if we could just DO IT MORE THAN twice a month...."

With so much free high quality porn out there, why bother keeping anything on your computer or phone ? Trouble waiting to happen, especially with shared cloud access...

 

"Is my mother inlaw overreacting?"
NOPE! Sorry dude but she's not overreacting.

I will say this though, she was wrong for going through your files. Why on earth didn't you just let her use a guest account for your computer? She wouldn't have had access to your files that way.

 

Try to forget it. Be thankful that your problem does not reach that of Hunter Biden and his laptop.

 

Yeah. It's not like you can go back in time and undo this. May as well just get on with your life.

Your mother-in-law is never gonna forget about it, and if your wife finds out, she'll never forget about it either - so it's over your head forever.

I had a mother-in-law too. Never felt the slightest urge to take her picture and sure as shit never felt the urge to fap over her.

Sheesh.

 

I hope your mother,inlaw is not an HF member. She may think that the last part of your comment was going a step too far.

 

Too far? Don't know what you mean by that.

Anyway, she sure isn't in HF. I doubt she's ever been thought of as "hip" by anyone.

 

MIL is not overreacting. She has a legitimate gripe finding the pictures having been modified and stored in a file folder such as that. She also is guilty of going where she shouldn't have, into your privacy area. There's a reason these things are called "Personal Computers". My advice is to talk with MIL and apologize while assuring her the pics have now been deleted but also pointing out your personal space was violated. Before you do that delete the pics and file folder. In talking with MIL insure this will be the end of it and it will never be brought to your spouses attention. As a way out if it ever is mentioned again, without the evidence there is no proof, just hearsay.
